Direct Detection Solutions Andor employs the notation ‘S’ to indicate cameras that are optimal for the detection of ‘soft’, lower energy photons. With direct detection, the incident VUV to soft X-Ray photon is absorbed directly within the silicon of the sensor resulting in the production of multiple electron-hole pairs. This method of detection limits the range of usage of the sensor to photon energies that silicon can absorb directly. The design and architecture of the sensor and camera directly affect the detection range. Therefore, an uncoated backilluminated sensor will allow low energy...

Indirect Detection Solutions Andor employs the notation ‘H’ to indicate cameras that are optimal for detection of ‘hard’ higher energy photons. Indirect detection employs a material, such as a scintillator or phosphor, to convert incident high energy X-Ray or gamma photons to visible wavelength photons, which can then be detected directly by the sensor. Fiber-optic cameras Direct connection to scintillators, streak tubes or open-Micro Channel Plates (MCPs) with maximum throughput performance. A fiber-optic can be used to couple the scintillator to the camera. This provides several...
